Q

Explain the trend in reducing abilities of halide ions

A

Reducing ability increases down the group
- Ionic size increases down the group
- Shielding increases
- Attraction between outer electron and nucleus decreases
- So electron is more easily lost

Q

Explain the trend in electronegativity of halides

A

Decreases down the group

  • Atomic size increases
  • Shielding increases
    -Weaker attraction between nucleus and shared pair of e- of the covalent bond

17
Q

What is the worst reducing agent out of the halides

A

F-

18
Q

What is observed when Cl2 is formed?

A

Green solution

19
Q

What are the 4 main steps in testing for halide ions

A

1) Add HNO3
2) Add AgNO3
3) Add dilute NH3
4) Add concentrated NH3

20
Q

Why do we add HNO3 in the first step of identifying halide ions

A

Removes Co3
(essential as Ag2CO3 is a white ppt)

21
Q

Which element is clearly identified after adding AgNO3 in the halide ion test

A

F-
(Gives a colourless solution)
(The others give white, cream and yellow)

22
Q

Which element is clearly identified after adding dilute NH3 in the halide ion test

A

Cl-
(In Cl- white ppt dissolves, Br- and I- have no visible change)

23
Q

Which element is clearly identified after adding concentrated NH3 in the halide ion test

A

Br-
(In Br- cream ppt dissolves, I- has no visible change)

24
Q

What is the test for I- ions

A

No visible change after completing all 4 steps of halide ion test

25
Q

What is the formula for the chlorate ion

A

ClO-

26
Q

What is the equation for the reaction of chlorine and water without UV light

A

Cl2 + H2O –>HCl + HClO (reversible)

Ionic:
Cl2 + H2O –> 2H+ + Cl- + ClO-
(Reversible)

27
Q

What is a disproportionation reaction?

A

One where the same species is both oxidised and reduced simultaneously

28
Q

Why is the reaction of chlorine and water without UV a disproportionation reaction

A

Cl2 is both oxidised and reduced

29
Q

Which species is oxidised and which species is reduced in the reaction of chlorine and water without UV

A

Cl2 is reduced and oxidised

30
Q

What is the benefit of adding Cl2 to water

A

Cl2 kills microorganisms

31
Q

What is the risk of adding cl2 to water

A

Cl is toxic to humans in large amounts

32
Q

What is the equation for the reaction of Cl and water with UV

A

2Cl2 + 2H2O —> 4HCl + O2

Ionic:
2Cl2 + 2H2O —> 4H+ + 4Cl- + O2

33
Q

Which species is oxidised and which species is reduced in the reaction of chlorine and water with UV

A

2Cl2 is Reduced

2H2O is Oxidised

34
Q

What is the chemical formula for bleach

A

Sodium Chlorate(I)

NaClO

35
Q

What is the equation for the manufacture of bleach

A

Cl2 + 2NaOH –> NaCl + NaClO + H2O

Ionic:
Cl2 + 2OH- —> Cl- + ClO- + H2O

36
Q

Which species is oxidised and which is reduced in the reaction for the manufacture of bleach

A

Cl2 is oxidised and reduced

37
Q

What type of reaction is the manufacture of bleach

A

Disproportionation

38
Q

State the colours of precipitate formed when AgNO3 is added to Cl-,Br-, and I-

A

Chloride (Cl-) ions: Produce a white precipitate of silver chloride
Bromide (Br-) ions: Produce a cream precipitate of silver bromide
Iodide (I-) ions: Produce a yellow precipitate of silver iodide
